Chapter 14

It felt like a vivid and painful slap in Amanda’s face.

She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind.

Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had witnessed someone smashing a car, which turned out to be Amanda’s.

“What happened? Did she offend someone and that was their revenge?” Serenity wondered.

“Who knows?” Jackson replied, his eyes flickering slightly as he pursed his lips.

“Anyway, it’s none of our business,” Serenity said as she grabbed Jackson’s arm and headed toward the bus stop.

Suddenly, Jackson stopped abruptly. Serenity turned to look at him only to find that he had turned pale, and there was a shocked look on his face.

He was also staring unblinkingly at the bus stop.

“What’s wrong?” Serenity asked.

“It’s… nothing,” Jackson replied as his expression gradually returned to normal.

That had been a mistake, right? He thought the woman who had just boarded the bus looked like a certain other woman he knew…

A woman who had once abandoned her husband and child.

But it was impossible for her to be here.
